What Are Tomato Novel’s Four Great Bad-End Stories?
Looking for Short, Tearjerker Stories Like the Ones in TikTok Ads
In the ad, the heroine is diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, or the male lead asks her how much longer she's going to keep pretending. Anyway, in the end, he sees her body and panics. She doesn't necessarily have to die, though. A happy ending is fine too. I just want to see how this kind of story ends.

What Books Do You Recommend for Middle Schoolers?
BE, Male-Male Pairing, Preferably the Kind That Makes You Cry. I Really Want to Read One
BE
Looking for an Absolutely Devastating Novel!!!
No random, pointless angst. I want something sweet at first, without a sudden car accident or amnesia plot later on. The relationship should develop gradually, preferably with the leads saving each other. A BE ending is fine. I don’t care what their personalities are like, as long as they aren’t brainless.
A Tragic Campus Romance (The Ending Must Be Tragic, Not Happy)
Help Me Find a Book with a Bad Ending
The male lead's father seems to be some kind of mayor. The male lead can design. He gets into a car accident while seeing the female lead off as she leaves the country. Later, the female lead buys the house he had previously designed for them, and, at his request, has his parents adopt a boy.

I felt the story's direction was unexpected yet logical, because I didn't initially realize it was a tragic ending 🥺 I was already shipping them 😢 But it felt so real. Li Lu, due to her family situation, saw things too clearly; she was afraid they would end up like that. Jiang Nanxing also had his own family he cared deeply about—his grandmother.
Zun Du really likes this setting where rationality outweighs emotion. Compared to the unseen and intangible nature of love, the future is too uncertain. Perhaps one's future is more important. Rather than relying on love, it's better to take control of one's own life, live the life one desires, not easily change one's mind for others, and live for oneself. I really like the author's writing style.
Why wasn't the ending for the male and female leads written later? It's a bit of a shame.
It looks great, keep up the good work!
Personally, I think their choices were both for the good of each other and showed consideration for one another. However, as readers, we hope they have a happy ending. Here, I also wish the author all the best! I hope the author becomes more and more successful! I hope you'll try to write this side story (and maybe even write another sequel! 🙂🙂)
It's really good! The romance between Xingxing and Xiaoli is very well-developed, it's a pity they didn't end up together, sob sob. Actually, I still kind of want to see a side story where they do get together, although that's impossible. Overall, it's quite realistic and the plot doesn't fall apart too much. 😘😘
The writing is beautiful, the plot is full of twists and turns, and overall it's good, except the ending is unexpected and not pleasant.
I don't know how to explain it, but I inexplicably like it a lot.
Actually, it feels quite realistic, and the plot and style feel very down-to-earth.
The author's writing is excellent, I like it.
